        I'm sure Climate Change has affected entire ecosystems across the planet. Until we can FORCE our idiotic, science-refusing Congress & President to do something about it, all we can do is reduce OUR OWN carbon footprint. BTW, the mosquitoes in my backyard have NOT gotten the memo

        Of course...I know it. Taking into account the decline in honey bee populations, my family has planted drought tolerant plants that honey bees love in the gardens around our house (lavendar, catmint, salvia, jupiter's beard). We have been delighted to the bees enjoying them.

        Honeybees are so docile that you can plant flowers right next to them and they just buzz on. If you watch them, they grab a flower (like lavendar) with their front legs, stick their fuzzy heads in, and wiggle them around. It's cute.

        We should also celebrate and encourage pollinators that are actually native (since honeybees aren’t native to North America, where you seem to live)

        Liking computers does not preclude liking biodiversity. I teach computer modeling and a field course in bird identification. Does not lessen the extraordinary value of citizen science.

        Actually- Monsanto has a fantastic solution for this problem: GMOs. Independent studies show that modern agriculture reduces the use of pesticides by ~ 20% #ModernAg @GMOAnswers.

        Yes, but GMO's kill bees & will affect us. If it's not all flora its not a flora

        GMOs don't kill bees - they protect them. In fact, if the EU had adopted this technology they would drastically reduce insecticide use in agriculture - and there would be more of the 🐦&🐝

        My backyard was swarming with monarch butterflies and honeybees as a kid in the 70's, and they've vanished. I haven't seen one of either species in several summers, despite our milkweed & other plants that attract them, and that no chemicals of any kind are used on our property.

        Yes, we are. It's from using those pesticides that are fatal to every living thing.
